IQ was just along for the ride tonight with five points, but a win is a win.

He has also never missed a free throw against the Pistons, having gone 22 for 22 from the charity stripe.

IQ streak and Knicks streak

The Nets can advance tonight if they beat Raptors and the Bulls beat the Celtics. There are also other scenarios involving point differential that I don’t feel like posting.

Does the prospect of the rich getting richer make you more or less excited about tuning in to the tournament games tonight?

Davis attempts 5.9 free throws per game to score 22.1 points per game. The 5.9 attempts per game is tied for 24th in the league while Reed commits 2.0 fouls per game in his 13.4 minutes per game.

Davis is a top talent while Reed is a very good defender off the bench. He should be able to hold his own in this contest on Monday.

DeRozan took exception to Pascal Siakam attempting a 3-point shot with 3 seconds left and the Raptors leading by 12 points when Siakam could've dribbled out the clock. DeRozan angrily chastised the Raptors bench and coach Darko Rajakovic, who told coach Billy Donovan that Siakam attempted the shot because point differential matters for In-Season Tournament ramifications.

The Raptors actually had been eliminated from In-Season Tournament advancement before the game, but apparently, word didn't get to Rajakovic and Siakam.

"I don’t care about no In-Season Tournament points, none of that. Just respect for the game," DeRozan said. "If the roles was flip-flopped and I had the ball, hold it. It is what it is."

If you’re wondering how that’s possible, Robinson keeps them in his two homes, one in New York, the other in Louisiana. He had eight rottweilers — including the eldest, a homebody named Kodak — and eventually that multiplied with puppies. There’s also a lab and a golden retriever.

Robinson, 25, used to have sugar gliders, which are essentially acrobatic possums. Sadly, Robinson’s cats killed the sugar gliders.

“I want ferrets,” he added.

Robinson started fishing off the pier at Sanders Beach at about 6 years old. He upgraded to fishing off a boat and developed a knack for catching redfish.

“I cook ’em,” he said. “Hell yeah, I grill my fish.”

Off the water, Robinson most appreciates the tunes of Morgan Wallen. “If you followed my TikTok, you’d know that,” Robinson said of his Wallen fandom.

He entered Wednesday’s game as the NBA’s top offensive rebounder at 5.8 per game, which, if upheld for the season, would only trail Moses Malone, Jayson Williams and Dennis Rodman for the most since those stats were recorded.

The Bulls and DeRozan have discussed an extension, but the sides remain apart on years and salary, and the 34-year-old DeRozan wants to see where the team goes before committing to a return.

I think being a leader is one of those things where you can lead in many different ways. I think, for me, I try to lead by example. I’ve had the opportunity now to go into this team (the Nets) and do that. So, I’ve been blessed with that opportunity and I think I’ve been a great leader so far.

Is this more of an indictment on Ayton or simply high praise for Camara? The 52nd pick in this year’s draft is coming off an up and down preseason in which he put up 7 ppg on 72 TS%.

I understand that teams in these contracts are paying for future production, not past production. If I’m going to give you like $100M, I’d like to have some past production. Patrick Williams has done some stuff, but like that’s just… if that’s the number, if that ends up being true and the Vassell deal ends up being the comp that his agents go to, that’s a lot of cheese.

Starting about 32 minutes into The Lowe Post.
